2012 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 17 March 2026 at 123,101 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of three clean passes since 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed any mechanical wear or component degradation before they resulted in MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 10,874 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,400 miles annually. The single failure recorded on 22 March 2023 at 106,227 miles was followed immediately by a pass the following day, which typically indicates a minor consumable issue that was rectified on the spot rather than a deep-seated mechanical neglect. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear on a Tiguan of this age and mileage. Given the 123,101-mile mark, the buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. It is advisable to check the brake discs for thinning and inspect the underbody for any developing structural corrosion, as the MOT does not detect early-stage surface rust until it reaches a failure threshold.
